About Us

 

Hi, I’m Tracey – the maker behind Thistle Cottage Clay, a tiny studio tucked away in beautiful New Zealand where magic, nature, and creativity come together in the loveliest little ways.

 

 What started as a love for painting has slowly grown into a passion for working with polymer clay. Now, I spend my days sculpting tiny treasures – from fairy doors to floral earrings – all handmade with care and a big dash of whimsy.

 

I work in small batches, letting each creation tell its own story. Whether it’s a pair of flower earrings, a leafy bookmark, or a miniature fairy door for your garden, I hope it brings you joy and a little spark of wonder.

 

I believe the little things matter – like thoughtful packaging, slow-made goods, and sending something handmade that feels special. Whether you're treating yourself or buying a gift, thank you for choosing to support a small business that pours a whole lot of love into every piece.

 

Come in, have a look around, and make yourself at home. I’m so glad you’re here.

 

Tracey
